Product Description:
The FC-280P1K1T4E20H1 is an AC motor drive produced by Danfoss within the VLT FC 280 Midi Drives series. As a compact variable-frequency converter, it regulates the rotational speed of three-phase induction motors used in conveyors, pumps, and general process equipment. In plant automation, the drive receives fixed-frequency mains power, processes it through an IGBT inverter stage, and delivers controlled output frequency so a PLC can match motor speed to real-time load demands. Because output frequency and voltage are adjusted together, the motor can run more smoothly during starts, stops, and load changes. This operating method can reduce energy use and mechanical stress on connected machinery.
Rated mechanical output is 1.5 HP, which corresponds to an electrical capacity of 1.1 kW at the inverter terminals. The input section accepts three-phase 380-480 VAC, allowing direct connection to standard industrial supply networks without autotransformers. For installation, the enclosure has an IP20 / Chassis protection class, so it should be mounted inside a cabinet that is free of conductive dust and dripping liquids. The unit belongs to the Midi Drive FC product group, which uses common operating structures and option support across multiple power sizes. This layout suits compact control panels where drive functions and supporting components share the same enclosure space.
Electromagnetic compatibility is handled by the integrated EMC Category C1 (200 V) / C2 (400 V) network, which suppresses conducted emissions on both lower-voltage and higher-voltage installations. The filter is part of the drive's RFI filter assembly and is installed ahead of the inverter bridge, which helps limit conducted noise without requiring separate suppression hardware in many standard applications. The control version is 280, and it supports autotune, PID, and flying-start functions for stable speed regulation and restart behavior. These functions help the drive respond to changing load conditions while maintaining controlled motor operation.
